Fenrir in a duneon? Really SE, reallllllllly?

[Sapphic]

No, you simply have expectations you should never have had in the first place. So they copied some features directly from XI. Well they also didn't copy many things from XI at the same time.

And as you know, they copied a lot of stuff from FF3 also, Crystal Tower, AF armor designs warriors of light, the crystals etc.

Just because they put these summons in as dungeon bosses, doesn't mean they can't reuse them elsewhere. Before Siren was placed in Pharos Sirius, she was made into a main story quest fight, one that was an allusion to the Siren fight in Final Fantasy V (in the Ship Graveyard). Nothing is stopping them from re-using these summons in another manner in the future. For reference, here's a list of past Final Fantasy summons which exist in Final Fantasy XIV so far:

Bahamut
Carbuncle (Arcanist Summon)
Odin
Ifrit
Shiva
Titan
Ramuh
Garuda
Leviathan
Kujata (Marauder Quest Boss)
Atomos (1.0 Boss; Labyrinth of the Ancients Mid-Dungeon Boss)
Catoblepas/Shoat (Mid-Dungeon Boss)
Siren (Main Quest Boss; Dungeon Boss)
Diabolos (Dungeon Boss)
Fenrir (Dungeon Boss)
Zona Seeker (S Rank Mark)
Midgardsormr (Dead Carcass Wrapped Around Imperial Airship in Mor Dhona; His Death Allows Current Primals to be Summoned in the First Place)
Belias (Summoner Trial Boss)
Gilgamesh
Zodiark (Ascian's Overlord in Story)

Not in Game Yet:

Cait Sith
Typhon

For others, emphasis has been shifted away from them being all powerful beings into beings which populate Eorzea as a race or group (Tonberries, Sylphs, Chocobos, Moogles). As people can see, they've already added a good deal of summons and re-purposed them to fit the story in some way.

Is Belias actually in-game or there's just a Belias egi? I think it's the latter.

I just returned to the game 2 weeks ago (never played much, former and still current FFXI player), but it seems that former FFXI players seem to play this game with the expectaion of it being FFXI 2.0. This should not be the case, its a totally different game, that just uses essential Final Fantasy material that come from throughout FF1-FFXIII.
This is NOT FFXI its FFXIV, different mechanics, different lore, different world/land. People need to adjust their expectations and be open minded.

Yeah, well welcome back. Instead of complaining about how Demon Wall is hard in your Darklight, we now complain about how everything here isn't a 15 year grind, and how the grass doesn't blow like it does in XI. Oh, and something something Blue Mage COULD WORK LIKE IN XI...again.

I think my screen is turning rose colored....

[RagnaBahamut]

actually, if we look at the FF lore in general you only have 2 great summons, Odin and Bahamut. (some will add Leviathan and alexander) outside this one... the other are far less stronger than them.

by the way Fenrir was only in 3 game soo far (soon 4 with FF14):
- Final Fantasy 6
- Final Fantasy 9
- Final Fantasy 11

i you look at this, it's part of the minor summons of the FF lore so far. then i'm not shocked more than this.

for diabolos it's only 4 game:
- Final Fantasy 6
- Final Fantasy 8
- Final Fantasy 11
- Final Fantasy 12

for Siren it's 2 game:
- Final Fantasy 6
- Final Fantasy 8

ps: i didn't count the not main episode like FF 12: Revenant wing or game like FF dimension... soo far people complain because they are them favorite, i can understand this, but they are far to be part of the most important FF summons.

actually already Siren in Final Fantasy XI Seekers of Adoulin

Is Belias actually in-game or there's just a Belias egi? I think it's the latter.

It's the latter, but it's the simple fact that the essence of what he is exists in the game in some way.

[Black91CRX]

People will complain about anything...

[Dashuto]

People need to chill out, Siren and Fenrir are of comparable power ratings in most FF.

Fenrir being super special was FFXI only

[Kusanagi7]

Deal with it.

[Narukuchan]

In this case.... calling it. Chocobo Primal. Good game guys. We're doomed.

You know it'll be the Lvl 99 Red Chocobo from FFXII yeah?
